Dota 2 continues its record high in many years, providing the most trophies for the tournament and has broken its own record every year since 2013.
Games developer Dota 2 has had to postpone this year's international competition indefinitely due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The delay was announced in April, Valve has not announced a new date, and it is not clear if the International Championship 10 will take place in 2020.
Given that the top ten international tournaments are expected to be postponed until 2021, Valve may be able to extend their term for a longer period than in previous years.
The battle map is usually available shortly after the event starts. However, since there are no events scheduled, it may take some time.
(Valve) said in a tweet on the Twitter platform: She is still not sure when the (International 10) tournament will be new or when (Dota Pro Circuit) will be back. Dota Pro Circuit is a series that determines who is eligible to participate in the (international) tournament. Activity.
The international tournament prize pool is funded by purchasing the Dota 2 Battle Pass, which costs $ 9.99 or $ 29.35 to unlock an additional 50 levels or $ 44.99 to transfer 100 levels instantly.
These purchases receive in-game rewards and benefits as the player progresses through the level.
A quarter of the proceeds from purchasing Battle Passes will be allocated to the tournament's large prize pool. As long as players keep buying, the prize pool will continue to grow.
(Valve) previously announced that the current Battle Pass will be available before September 19, which means there will be more time to continue increasing the prize pool.
Valve's goal this year is to reach $ 40 million. If the prize pool reaches this number before the deadline, additional rewards will be announced to all ticket holders.
